🐄 A little update from Hungerford Common…
You may have noticed fewer cattle on the Common recently. The farmer’s cattle were picked up earlier this week, but the Town and Manor’s cattle are still grazing for a little while longer.
As soon as we have a confirmed date for their departure, we’ll let everyone know.
In the meantime, please bear in mind that there are still cattle on the Common and to keep dogs under close control. 🐾

🍄💚 10th October – National Fungi Day & World Mental Health Day
Today marks two important days – National Fungi Day and World Mental Health Day – and here in Hungerford, there’s a lovely connection between the two.
Autumn is a wonderful time to get outside and notice the changing natural world around us. Keep your eyes peeled for fungi, including the unmistakable fly agaric – the bright red, white-spotted ‘fairytale’ toadstool that looks as though it has come straight from a storybook. 🍄
But while you’re looking, take a moment for yourself too.
Whether it’s a peaceful walk across Freeman’s Marsh, some fresh air on Hungerford Common, or a gentle stroll alongside the Kennet & Avon Canal, we’re incredibly fortunate to have beautiful open spaces right on our doorstep.
Getting outside, moving our bodies, slowing down and spending time surrounded by nature can all support our mental wellbeing. Sometimes even a short walk can give us a chance to clear our heads, notice what’s around us and have a little breathing space from the pressures of the day. 🌿💚
So today, perhaps make time for an autumn wander. Look for the fungi, enjoy the changing colours, breathe in the fresh air – and look after yourself too.
And if you spot a fly agaric on your travels, we’d love to see your photos in the comments! 📸🍄
Happy National Fungi Day, and on World Mental Health Day, a reminder to look after ourselves and each other. 💚

🌿 Did you know that the Town & Manor of Hungerford is not the same organisation as Hungerford Town Council? Yes - we know it can be super confusing!
The Town & Manor is an independent charity with a unique history stretching back almost 800 years. It is managed by the Constable and Trustees for the benefit of Hungerford and its community.
Although we are separate organisations, we greatly value our relationship with Hungerford Town Council and love working alongside them and other local groups for the benefit of the town.
The Town & Manor estate includes much-loved places such as Hungerford Common, Freeman’s Marsh, The Croft and the Town Hall and Corn Exchange, along with other land, buildings and waterways around Hungerford.
That said - if ever there is a concern about any part of Hungerford, maybe an issue on the common, an over flowing bin, a tree that's fallen... please do let us know and we can at least point you in the right direction.
